What appears to be a British fake news Web site found some humor in the Greensburg tragedy, suggesting it inspired Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to crack down on high winds and President Bush to investigate whether twisters were a Democratic plot to undermine his administration. The “news” item concludes: “Both the governor of Kansas and President Bush agreed that wind had been given too much freedom since 1939, when it was glorified in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ and that it was time to choose public safety over freedom. Again.”

Of course it has. So lets tame it with windmill farms. That will teach it.
That is as tacky as is Americans weren making light of the 52 deaths in the London subways caused by terrorists in 2005.
Poor taste..and no class.
“as IF”..not “as in”
Need to find a new editor…
Actually, since it involves international trade, weather is a federal issue. Tornadoes are caused by warm air imported from Mexico mixing with cold air imported from Canada. We need to junk the NAFTA treaties and start imposing strict quotas and tariffs on the import of air that differs markedly in temperature from that already here. We cannot allow foreign powers control over something as vital as our weather!
